Ours was always simple. Potatoes boiled with jacket on. Then peeled,
cut, and dressed while a bit warm.
 
A bit of chopped onion, celery, bell pepper. Mayo with salt and pepper
for the dressing.

The potato salad that I make is totally awesome. Some people think it's the best potato salad they've ever had.

Let me guess: they've only ever had one?

It looks good and everything tastes better with mayo. Mayo is the real
ketchup.

that potato salad is quite attractive and eye catching. My mother
always had the leftover mashed potatoes for herself. She would mix
them with vinegar, chopped onion and whatever vegetable was available.
I always thought it was just a way to use leftovers but she really
enjoyed it. No Japanese descent, she was straight German background.
Apparently people across the world sometimes think alike. Thank you
for the recipe.

>Cardamom is a spice that I'm not too familiar with even though it's used in various curries popular in Hawaii. My Swedish step mom uses it a lot in baked goods. I don't ever use the stuff, unless it's in curry powder. It's one of the lesser know spices on this rock.

My guess is that if you're Scandinavian or Indian or from some Middle Eastern countries, it could be. My Swedish step-mom might certainly be addicted to the stuff. I can't imagine her not making breads, rolls, or cookies without it. It's the taste of Scandinavia. Mostly, Americans don't use cardamom. I've only used it one time in my life.

The only time I had cardamom in bread, it was home made by an Anglo
Australian with a link to Slovakia. Beats me how I can turn that into
a blanket statement!

My guess is that cardamom is not a popular spice where you reside. That's my blanket statement since you're too chicken to give your opinion on the matter.

Lol, yes I'm too chicken to give my opinion on cardamom use in
Australia. It's a very sensitive matter, you know :)

haha, funny people...
 
my first time having it was in a Finnish bread from
a bakery in the college town. ever since then i've
enjoyed it. Turkish coffee, Indian curries, baked
goodies. i didn't know how much i was missing it until
recently when someone gave us some bread that included
some toasted cardamom bread.

I am currently enjoying a "corn relish" type of salad, I made it last weekend. Very easy, it has diced cukes, red/green bell peppers, celery, red onion, I used frozen corn...cooked up briefly in a brine of rice vinegar/water/sugar/ salt, for lagniappe I added red pepper flakes, minced garlic, and a wee bit of garam masala...
 
Very tasty, I just had some mixed with some store - bought macarooni salad, I've used it in tossed salad, with tater salad, also as a relish with some bratwurst...I made two quarts and it is almost gone...it is dandy just by itself...very "clean and healthy", so one can eat a lot...nice spicy and crisp taste...
 
You can use most anything, this weekend I'll use some zukes, okra, mebbe some termators...red or green cabbage, too...I've a bag of small bruxelles sprouts in the freezer, that might work too...OH and green beans, carrots...
 
Years ago I would can quarts of this stuff for the winter, always a hit as a Christmas gift. Now I'm older and lazier, the "refrigerator pickle" type of thing as this is works well for me...

This is my favorite
INGREDIENTS
medium size head shredded green cabbage
2 grated carrots
1/2 diced green bell pepper (red good too)
2 tablespoons grated onion
 
2 cups mayonnaise
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons celery seeds
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
Mix vegetables in a bowl. Mix remaining ingredients in another. Mix
together and toss well. Cover and refrigerate 3-4 hours.
 
 
I use the grating blade of the food processor and get a fairly fine cut.
I let it sit for a good half hour. Then I put it in a bowl but squeeze
out much of the water from it.
 
Mix in the dressing and chill for a few hours or even overnight. I like
to make it the day before.
